But compared to Hornbill females, she's got a way better deal! <br /><br />Hope the boys at home are looking forward for the cricket!<br /><br />Hi Stu,<br />Thanks! <br />This one's isn't too difficult as some of the other endemics. <br /><br />May you witness some good English football!Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-42962433493824810672010-06-10T18:20:42.554+05:302010-06-10T18:20:42.554+05:30Great shots of the Hornbill, I'd love to see o...Great shots of the Hornbill, I'd love to see one some day.........Stuart Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103599639814558640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-46226759599187239942010-06-10T12:22:58.716+05:302010-06-10T12:22:58.716+05:30'Coz diamonds are a girl's best friend!

I'm not surprised that female Frogmouth hides herself and lets the male take over all the dirty work. That's one smart bird and the female Hornbill would do well to take a couple of lessons from her.Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-61985668350533650942010-06-09T17:19:55.146+05:302010-06-09T17:19:55.146+05:30Hi Rainfield,

Hi Shak,
Thanks! Th...Hi Rainfield,<br />I hear you...:)<br /><br />Hi Shak,<br />Thanks! The Inidan Pitta was in a more relxed posture, which explains its cute appearance. <br /><br />Hi Dee,<br />Thanks! Glad you liked them.<br /><br />Hi Tabib,<br />The Indian Pitta is a regular winter visitor to my yard from late Oct - Early April.<br /><br />Hi Chavie,<br />I once I observed a courtship feeding in Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters. In that copulation followed as soon as the female acepted the food item offered. Just between you and me, it appeared that the male took advantage when the female was distracted by the food! :) <br /><br />Hi Santhoshi,<br />Pleased to hear that, thank you!Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-60698874287400134952010-06-09T12:08:05.025+05:302010-06-09T12:08:05.025+05:30lol the story
